Overview
About the PMS-Z14
A continuous zoom lens with coaxial illumination and a 14:1 zoom ratio: 0.55× to 7.6× at a 77.8 ± 2 mm working distance, for sensors up to 2/3 inch. At low magnification it shows a larger field of view; at high magnification it resolves finer detail.
Features
- Zoom ratio 14:1: a large field of view at low magnification and higher resolution at high magnification
- Ultra-low distortion design: high-precision data without distortion correction
- Fully supports 2/3-inch sensors with a uniform image across the field
- Absolute-zero control keeps the magnification consistent after a reset to zero
- Every lens is tuned individually before shipping
Applications
- Industrial inspection
- Automation
- Electronic communication
- Semiconductor
- Scientific research
Motorized control
An integrated motorized control system suits all of these zoom lenses: it drives one or two axes over RS232 or USB, and the underlying software code is supplied for OEM platforms.
